The Ottoman Citadel of Ma’an, which became a museum, was built between 1559-1563 during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, with the aim of providing safety for pilgrims’ convoys that were passing through Ma’an from the Levant to the Hijaz.
The museum displays the history of the ancient city of Ma’an and documents the importance of the city’s strategic location through different periods of time. It contains several stations, most notably the history of Maan in agriculture, trade, and others, so that the museum is available to visitors from the governorate and other governorates of the Kingdom, researchers, and orientalists from all over the world.
The Tafila Archaeological Museum is a unique new addition to the tourist attractions in Tafila Governorate.
